Subject: polarity issue
Subject: polarity issue
These audience recordings from Pittsburgh that sound so bad are because the left and right channels are reversed in polarity. If you download the flac
...
files and load them into a DAW, it is easy to flip one side to match the other. Makes a huge difference and makes this show listenable.

skr213 - if interested there is a SBD available via dead.net's digital download series. excellent quality & only 10 or 12 bucks for MP3 & a little

more for FLAC. IMO a small price to pay. didn't go the night before, but remember being freaked out coming out of this night to the riot police on horses in full gear. FRIGHTENING!! I've heard the night before & agree it's a better show, but this night was very nice & well played. Somehow I always managed to catch them doing Tom Thumb's Blues in Pittsbugh. LOVE IT. 4 solid stars.

Subject: Not as good as night before
Subject: Not as good as night before
Overall: good show, but not quite as strong as night before, IMO. Why is there a dearth of decent recordings of these Pitt shows? Of the multiple recordings
...
on Archive of these two nights, this is the only decent recording.
The scene: after the disasters of the night before, this night had a cloud hanging over it. Police state in PA. I also remember hearing rumors that the band was really pissed off about the irresponsible behavior of people crashing the gates (duh, I was pretty pissed myself!). Nonetheless, they came out and still played a great show.
The music: Not quite the heavy hitter of the night before, but still interesting song selections and good play. El Paso was a bit of “break-out” as they hadn’t played it in quite some time. The Phil chanters got a decent Tom Thumb’s. Another second set Brent opener, with a ripping Blow Away. Whole second set is fairly strong. Brent is really prominent in these shows, which in my book is awesome, but some (crazy people!) don't agree.

Subject: Mixed bag, but the highs outweigh the lows.

There are a lot of good things to say about this show. Brent’s harmonies on Bertha are spine-tingling. Jack-a-Roe isn't any different than any other
...
time you've heard it, but you gotta love that song. Blow Away’s pretty darn good. Crazy Fingers is practically perfect.
Right now, I’m rocking out to Stella. It’s an uplifting, energetic version.
Some songs (UJB, Black Muddy River) aren’t too great, but whatever.
The overall sound quality is slightly below average. There are the bursts of talking but the boys mostly drown them out. It's alright if you aren't too particular.
(alright, edited twice during my second listen-through...that's enough)
